The integration of ICT into the Visual Arts course provides opportunities for students to access computer-based technologies that reflect everyday practice and that will assist in the demonstration of outcomes. Students are required to engage with ICT throughout the Visual Arts course in a variety of ways.
In the mandatory course teachers will provide students with the opportunity to explore computer-based technologies in their artmaking practice through work particularly in 2D and 4D forms, and in their research and investigation of critical and historical studies of art.
In particular, opportunities must be provided for students to have experience of:
graphics-based programs to create and manipulate digitally generated images (such as scanned images, digital camera, internet images, CD), video stills, animations and web page designs
importing images (through scanning, internet, digital camera and CD) into graphics and word-processed documents.
In the mandatory and elective courses teachers can provide further opportunities for students to explore computer-based technologies in 2D and 4D forms and in critical and historical studies of art. These opportunities can include:
electronic communication in the researching of information including virtual art gallery websites, artists’ profiles, viewing electronic scans of artworks, accessing critical interpretations and historical accounts of artworks, exhibitions and performances and importing images into word-processed and graphics documents
word processing to assist in the preparation of reports and reviews that reflect the nature of study in visual arts in critical and historical studies
multimedia to create presentations that include graphics components, digital works, sound, video and lighting
databases to compile, organise and analyse visual arts material, technical information,experiments and records
software management in the efficient storage of electronic information.
